Application filed O'Ctober 13, 1925. Serial No. 62,232.

T0 all 'whom t may concern:

Be ithnoivn that I, Louis Brauen; a

citizen ot the United States, and a resinent of Redding` eountv otShasta, and State et California, have invented new and use'lul`Improvements in a Siphon, oit which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the siphoningij oi: Wines from barrels inlfiettlingg` the same. as, Well as to the siphoning` ot' gasoline orother liquid from containers, and the objects et the invention are teprovide simple siphen apparatus which easilv operated and Whieh Willeffectively start the siphoningoperation Without` applying the tube tothe mouth for exhausting); the air therefrom, also such pparatus whichWill provide for the priming of auton'iobile engin plugg's with gasolineteilten troni the gasoline tankv and withal article cheap te produce andproof against getting out et order.

My improved siphon embraeinef the above mentioned advantages is showninthe dran7` ings hereto and in which Figure l is a side view ot mvComplete device and Figure 2 is reduced perspective vieiv showing' thedevice in platee ready to Siphon `@gasoline trom an automobile`grasoline tanln'and with a portion et the tank broken away to shew thecontents.

As shown in the ligures niv improved Siphon consists in its preferredtorni ot a rubber bulb 1 having' a rubber tube 2 e3;- tending treni theupper end and a rubber tube 3 'from the loiver end.

These tubes are preterablv7 secured te the bulb by means ot hollow metalor hard rub ber sleeves 4 cemented in place.

rl'he upper tube is provided with a redueingnozzle 5 preferably pushedtighth7 into the tube, and the lower tue is equipped 'with a valve of"Sonie sort-here shown a rubber tube clamping' device G having iaivs 7, 8adapted to flatten the tube or release` the saine upon operatingihelinger lever E) in the Well lnovvn manner.

Secured to the rubber bulb in some inanner as at l0 is a ivire arm llextending upward and having a hooked upper end 19. for the Vpurpose otsuspending' the bulb l alongside ot a barrel or tank being siphone'd edin the manner shown in Figure 2, the Wire arin being hooked over theedge 13 ot` the filling opening of the tank 14 and the tube 2 alsopassing* over the edite and down inside the tank into the ygasoline l5,while the other tube 3 extends into a bottle lt or ether receptaclewhich it is desired to fill ivith the liquid.

ln operation. with the device in the position shown in Figure 2 the bulbis squeezed to flatten it, and torce eut all of the air, the clamp (i isclosed te prevent return ot air, the bulb is released thereby`- sucking'the liquid trom the tanl te substantially till the bulb and upon agraiureleasing' the clamp (3 the Siphon will start and Continue running'until the Clamp t5 is closed.

In Figure 2 the redueing;n nozzle is not shoivn in place as the siphonworks faster when it removed, but Ytor primingY plugs *ith gasoline itis used as it pr vides a betenntrol when ejeetingij a small quantitivoil the liquid` it being' understood that for such use the tube 2withdrawn trom the tank a'lter Fillingthe bulb as mentioned, and thegasoline ma)7 be forced out ot the nozzle either bv squnearing;n thebulb l or by elevat ing it and opening the clamp (l to admit air theretotrein the tube 3, er it desired an ad ditional elainp as at (l ma)7 beplaced on tube Q :tor additional control.

lu Considering; the invention as described it ivill be seen to providean extremely7 simple Siphon usetul ter startingi iluids sueh asgasoline, acids, ete., dangerous to start b v sucking; on the siphontube and more sanitari',7 in the ease et siphoninggl beverages Whenbottling the saine.

Attention is draivn to the tact that While ft shew and pre'ler a rubbertube at both ends et the bulb, it is manifest that a tube or pipe otether material Will also be serviceable in some instances.

l claim:

l. il. siphnn Comprising' a sott rubber bulb `with a tube extendingltroni Opposite ends thereof and provided with means ter suspending' thebulb directly trom a eontainer when siphoningtherefrom and whereby thesiphening tube above the bulb is relieved, from the Weight et the bulb.

2. A. siphon Comprising a sott rubber bulb with a tube extending 'fromopposite ends thereorn and provided with a hook ter boeking' over theedge ot a container, said hook extending from said bulb.
